_ 6674 Ringgold Rd.: Police responded to the Rodeway Inn early Sunday morning in regard to a disorder with a weapon. According to a police report, dispatch advised responding officers that a black male was in the lobby pointing a gun at someone. When officers responded to the lobby they encountered the manager who told them that the incident happened out back in the parking lot. The report states that officers went to the parking lot and encountered a Hispanic male with an open head wound. A friend translated the injured man’s account of the incident. The man told police through the interpreter that a black male with dreadlocks came to his hotel room armed with a pistol demanding the man’s wallet and money. While this was happening, the armed man’s accomplice was outside fighting with another man. The accomplice, the report states, pistol whipped the man. A third would-be robber fired his gun three times in the air. The report states at that point all three robbers ran away and took off in a dark-colored four-door sedan headed down Ringgold Road. The report states that officers searched the area for shell casings but came up empty. Detectives were notified on the incident and responded. Nothing further to report.
